Week 30

The Boston Globe

...... that's what Krish called me when I visited Keera and him in Beantown last week.
And you can see why...

He also made sure to squeeze every drop of opportunity out of my pregnancy. As we would approach a busy street that we needed to get to the other side of, he would turn to me with a 'Raaki (that's what they call me, another story for another day, actually I don't even remember the origin of the name, I probably blocked it out of my memory), show your tummy!

why 'sweetpea' you ask?

Well, we have Amos Lee to thank! Back when sweetpea was barely a proverbial twinkle in our eyes, kuttan used to sing me this song (and strum on his guitar) that we both loved: 'Sweetpea, apple of my eye'. If you haven't heard it, you have to!:


And then when we found out that there was a pea growing in the pod, we starting calling it 'sweetpea'.
Jo gave me this adorable little pendant made by local artistes, and the name stuck!:

Of course, now that we know that our little one is made of frogs and snails and puppy dog tails, we do wonder if he will be offended by the name 'sweetpea' but luckily, he has no say in the matter right now, and 'sweetpea' he will remain to us!

Dot dot dot dash dash dash dot dot dot

We got ourselves a little boy scout in there!
(Warning: too much information ahead, read at your own risk!)

I think our little one is trying to communicate with us!
I woke up one morning with an out-ie (belly button pushed out). This changed to an inn-ie after a while and back out again. Can you just imagine him in there, having fun poking and prodding, kuttan thinks he is sending out morse code signals!
Of course, I think the specific signal he is trying to get across to his father is 'S.O.S!!!' after he took us on a ride of the Charlottesville countryside with all its ups and downs.
